Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 27 August - Dialog Semiconductor Plc (FWB:DLG) today announced it collaborated with Harman Becker, the Harman International Automotive Division, in the development of the DA6001 power management IC as a companion device for the Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor. The DA6001 is to be used in the Harman International Automotive Division's in-vehicle infotainment command centres, with Dialog having already shipped the first engineering samples to the company. The companies have also recently signed an agreement to continue the collaboration for a successor device supporting Intel's forthcoming next generation Atom processor.
The DA6001 is the only available integrated power management and clock supply IC for the Intel Atom processor. It is targeted at embedded applications and meets the automotive industry's extended temperature and reliability standards. The integrated solution from Dialog allows a substantial reduction in the number of active and passive system components required in a design.
'Harman systems, using the Dialog technology, will deliver energy efficient scalable solutions with rich multimedia features to our global automotive customers; converging home and in vehicle entertainment,' commented Marek Neumann, Vice President Advanced Engineering at Harman International Automotive Division.
'Engaging closely with Dialog for this development, especially with their team's deep understanding of the Atom processor, was a welcome option for us in easing the design complexity of our system,' added Neumann.
Jalal Bagherli, CEO at Dialog commented, 'This collaboration with Harman Becker, an automotive infotainment market leader, is proving to be key for Dialog. It has provided an excellent product offering to fill the gap in the embedded market with Intel. It has also further cemented our role in satisfying the demanding needs of the automotive industry with a uniquely integrated system power and clock supply solution.' |
